Based only on the scant evidence we have, I have to say that, if I were Rob Ford's wife, I would probably disagree with you. Think long and hard about that while you make light of Ford's character flaws (although this may not mean anything if you've never experienced the pain of watching a loved one be on the receiving end of an abusive relationship).
I certainly was not making light of domestic abuse. The public does not have enough information to say that Rob Ford is a domestic abuser -- and UT's lawyers if it had any would not let you say so. As a hypothetical matter, do I think a domestic abuser is unqualified for elected office? Absolutely. In general, is our judgement about a politician's personal life and life choices a good basis for deciding who is elected and who isn't? I really don't think so.
